Wow, I feel dumb. I misread the e-mail (which was laid out quite poorly, to be fair). My set is marked as 'shipped'.
-
Why did I not get one, then? I ordered on the 15th. Is availability regional?
-
Ooh, thought of one the other night:
The Complete Impulse! Recordings of Archie Shepp and Marion Brown.
I would at least like to have a Marion Brown select, but imagine a box with all of their respective I! albums....
-
My order was cancelled due to lack of stock. Bummer.

I would go out on a limb and say there is probably close to zero chance that they'll make a set based on fan suggestion. If we've thought "Hey wouldn't it be great if ...'s recordings for ... Records were re-released," it's a pretty safe bet someone at Mosaic has had the same thought. I'm sure they've poured through every catalog they have access to, considering all the possibilities for future sets. I think it's extremely unlikely that one of us would make a suggestion that starts the proverbial wheels turning. Any resemblance between suggested and actual sets is probably just coincidental.
You never know, though...
With the MJQ suggestion, isn't most of their Atlantic material still in print?
Sure, but for instance, so is a lot all of the material in the Gerry Mulligan, Shank/Cooper, and Zeitlin sets. It's more a matter of having them in one place with superior sound and good annotation.
-
My suggestion of the moment: The Complete Atlantic Recordings of the Modern Jazz Quartet.
Why?
Because I like the MJQ, feel they are underappreciated, and these are (in my opinion) their finest recordings, sparingly available. It would be nice to have them all in one place, properly annotated, etc.

Dammit. Bad news.

Of all the OOP Mosaics, this is my most sought after. I hope to own it one day, but the $300+ ebay prices have this looking like a relative impossibility. I guess the Collectables will have to do for this lifetime.

There's something very agressive and cavernous in the sound of this RVG that I'm not sure I like. I was wondering if the OJC has a better, drier sound? I love the subtle sound of the OJC of Waldron's The Quest by the same group. Any opinions?
-
Yeah, what in the world is going on here? I was thinking about maybe keeping an eye out for the Cecil Taylor Candid box, until I saw it fetch well over 300 on ebay. Just wrong. Even the Giuffre box, which is rather ubiquitous is exploding in price. Disappointing.

There was a Mosaic Select of the Elvin material, but it's OOP.
Huh?
Oh. . . there was a full blown box set of the material, out of print for some time. But not a Select. Right?
Right.
Stan Getz - The Complete Roost Recordings pulled from Amazon
in Mosaic and other box sets...

Just a heads up, this now OOP set has been pulled from active sale on Amazon, with only used copies left. As far as I know, this is one of the only titles from the 2008 BN deletions to be fully eliminated from retail sale up to this point. So if you'd like a copy before the used prices spike (which can't be long now...) I'd go for it, whether it's through Amazon or some other site.
